Abstract:
This study aims to develop a Wordwall Quiz to improve the ability to analyze and evaluate in history subjects for 10th grade Vocational High School (SMK) students who face active student involvement and the lack of higher-order thinking skills in history learning, encouraging the need for innovation in interesting and interactive learning media. Using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) within the Research and Development framework, this product was validated by experts in the fields of language (4.30), media design (4.20), and learning materials (4.20) which showed that it was feasible to use with minor revisions. The subjects of the study were 10th grade students of SMKN 2 Jember in the 2024/2025 academic year. The results showed an increase in the average score, from 63.88 to 86.11 in the ability to analyze and from 64.02 to 83.75 in the ability to evaluate. The paired sample t-test showed a significance level of <0.001, which indicated a significant difference in the ability to analyze and evaluate. The eta-squared test yielded an effectiveness value of 0.961 for analytical skills and an effectiveness value of 0.731 for evaluation skills, categorized as a "large effect." Thus, it can be concluded that the Wordwall quiz media is feasible and effective in improving analytical and evaluation skills in history subjects.
